I haven't read the books, but I have a love/hate relationship with the show.
There were A LOT of things I really enjoyed and looked forward to every episode but there were nearly as many things that annoyed me and felt poorly executed. The infuriating part is that I can't put my finger on a number of the things that really bothered me.
I'd still give it an 8/10 overall.

Its fairly faithful but changes things around. Youll be shocked to learn that the black judge lady basically wasnt a character in the books.
There were some sub plots that didnt get featured in the show, but its prolly fine.
Nobody was a lesbian in the book
The book also made the "timespans" seem way longer. Like over months vs days some times. But i think tv is bad at that sort of thing
They teased something at the end of the last episode of season 2 that leads me to believe they are all in for the book's arc, including the other trilogy he wrote.

I binged the two seasons over the course of the last couple weeks and am invested enough to look forward to a season 3… but I’m really torn on whether I “like” the show or not.
Some of the Hollywood magic is hard to stomach - the episode in season 1 with the generator repair probably the worst, but Juliette wrestling men twice her size is also a bit immersion breaking. It definitely doesn’t feel like a woke/girl boss show though.

The writing for the show is horrendous. The major plot points from the book carry the show, but every - single - minor character interaction was hard to watch - particularly the filler scenes with Mechanical in season 2. Tim Robbins deserves an Oscar for pretending he was attracted to the judge. The guy playing Sims wasn’t too bad.

I tried about 7 episodes but the show just did not hold my attention. It is like Watching Fallout if nobody ever left the bunker. There might be some descent material, but after a while it just feels like pure survival with a little intrigue.

Back when I watched the first season, I told the wife (who never played the Fallout games) that I thought it might be based in the Fallout universe. I didn't realize it was based on a book when I first watched it.
